This folder contains replication code and data for the paper
"Information, Candidate Selection, and the Quality of Representation: Evidence from Nepal"
by Saad Gulzar, Zuhad Hai and Binod Paudel


The main dataset nepal_final_cleaned.dta:
	- This is the main dataset used in the paper

The tables in the paper can be replicated using two .do files:
	1. main_tables.do: 
		- replicates all result tables in the main body of the paper
	2. appendix_tables.do: 
		- replicates all result tables in the appendix of the paper

The Randomization Inference Code requires two files:
	1. rinf_vector.dta: 
		- a dataset of 5000 randomization inference vectors used to estimate exact pvalues
	2. rinf_program.do: 
		- a Stata program that estimates randomization inference p-values using the artificial treatment vectors in rinf_vector.dta
